A Time, a Moment, a Night

Many nights simply just going away
With without I’m to be taken along
Forever no more belongs a tomorrow’s yesterday
A memory if to anyone, I did belong?

Writing for a reason becomes but reasons no more
Did I write for myself or for another to feel?
My age stands a time with so much life to endure
Yet one isn’t to ignore when it comes for life to deal

How many more nights is there left?
If with you, is this the many nights to see?
Were there many nights for gods to theft
When in myself I see a devil lies me

If you were there… are you?
Only to be there you can only belong within
Times and moments to each if only we knew
Perhaps this be reasons why there are dreams

With many nights simply fading away
A time if only whence to feel belong
Simply for tomorrow is simply never a yesterday
And perhaps… always I’m taken along

Eyes Around You

if you could save a life 
would you give yours, die twice 
or seek the common sacrifice
within his eyes

i put stride in my fears 
and walked my tears away
if i could recount the years today
amongst my peers i'm here to say
address your bed, your whereabouts 
and the mirrors from which you lay

There's no heaven above me
But you want to seek love 
And tell me to lead the doomed
Pray upon salt castles
And clay statues
Remain humble with stones 
Veering at you 

on bending knee
you send a plee
do rekindle me 
Set me apart
from windows, free
only to pay
a widows fee

Scars are tattoos 
That remind us 
What not to do
Where not to go
Have I 
Forgotten you?

I rest my thoughts 
Where they don't lay 
If i could rise equivilently 
To an average monday
That would be life 
According to what some say

When nightmares become reality
Angels cry
Where shadows hide
They tear at the thought
of disclosing immortality
the same as the posture 
of an adolescent in high fidelity 

if you could save a life 
would you give yours, die twice 
or seek the common sacrifice
within his eyes

What a Sacrifice Is Called

In times of stress
In times of tension
In times of rough
I use it to fight down my enemies
I use it to defend my love
With my power, with my strength
In times of betrayal, in times of lies
In pages of cruelty
Are tests from God Almighty?
Will I pass or have I failed?
It is all written and I shall not be replied
But in mercy or in pain 
I’ll use it
I’ll use it to fight down my enemies
With my faith, covering my heart
With its power, I’ll guide them
I’ll protect them through
With it’s charm, with its beauty
No matter what It would take?
I would devote my soul to you 
I would cause a life energy transfer 
For you…. Just for you 
I’ll do the tasks that are impossible to make
I’ll live the life that would pain and hurt
For you …
For you’re breath taking eyes
For you’re injury healing heart
For you’re life sacrificing mode
It is you that I chose to give all things
It is you that will open your eyes again 
It is you that will run and enjoy your life
It is you that will bring flowers to my grave
It is me that will close her eyes
It is me that will blackout her senses
It is me that will be waiting for you 
In another place not in this earth
Be sure to be there….
